Title: [WinXP] Warhammer: Dark Omen
Post by NitroX infinity on 16.04.05 at 17:00:23
I've got this great game called Warhammer: Dark Omen and use to play it a lot when I still had Windows98se. Unfortunately this game has some problems with WindowsXP.

The problem which I'm having is that the game won't render 3D (How the hell am I gonna play?).

This is what I see ingame:

One important thing is that the 3D has to be done by the CPU because otherwise the system always reboots whenever I start a new game.

WindowsXP Professional SP1
SFFT Alpha 24

These are the settings from the hardware troubleshooter (sort of a setup of the game)

The latter two options, Align to tile and Single scene render don't seem to do a thing. Colourkey patch doesn't do much either. The options that are enabled have to be that way.

Need For Speed Underground 2 seems to have the same problem, though I doubt it's caused by the same thing :)

Anyone have a solution?

One day i was trying to run DO under WinXP - with no luck. Seems that the game doesn't like newer versions of DirectX, unfortunately - thus i recommend the dual-boot solution.
